When i look at K2 forum and another forums, i always saw people talking about K2 approval process, so I decided to develop one extension to help people. This plugin works in the front end and back-end and for 3 different user groups: 1. Users that can submit items and can't publish. 2. Users that can manage items and can't publish. 3. Admin that have full access on item publishing.
if user submit item in front end, this plugin can send notification to email that defined in admin section of plugin.
if user try to open submitted article in back-end, there is an option to approve or reject this article and notify to article submitter by comment.
if approve select, plugin change ownership of selected item to selected admin and send email to notify.
if reject select, plugin send email notify to one of authors that selected from drop-down.
So with this three step admin not need to check for spelling and grammatical error because manager do this kind of staff and admin just publish item.
Notification : when user is in admin group and select reject, plugin load list of managers in drop-down and if user is manager an chose reject, plugin load list of authors. Also if reject select, article automatically will be unpublished.
